Sewing tutorial: Frida Kahlo pillow, with free pattern

This fun pillow was inspired by Frida Kahlo’s iconic colourful self-portraits, especially the ones with the flowers in her hair.  Claire from Pillar Box Blue created this fabulous floral Felt Frida Kahlo cushion and she’s got a free pattern and tutorial for you. The cushion is made from a repurposed woolen blanket and the flowers from upcycled sweater felt (though you can use craft felt).

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
